Travell Metal Decorative Plate 1

Empowering this beautiful handmade brass statue is Devi Lakshmi in her Gajalakshmi roopa- the form in which she emerged from the ocean during the Samudra Manthana. Goddess Lakshmi sits on a lotus, with her legs in the lotus posture or Padmasana, holding lotuses in her secondary hands. The association between Sri Lakshmi and lotuses is to signify the virtues of divinity, purity, and fertility that the flower and goddess both embody. Two elephants balancing on the lotuses consecrate the goddess with ambrosial waters, anointing her as the supreme mother of the universe.
